this whole discussion is old. it can be found in the archives. the implementation of the jvm on linux FROM SUN is faulty on this one. cause when use use a filename like /tmp/mydir/myfile.txt and make a file object of it on a windows system and get the name you would get the name myfile.txt though the file separator on windows is a backslash, thats ok. but on linux you won't get the name from a windows path. i send a bug report to sun. there was some misunderstanding and then Dakota Jack <dakota.jack (at) gmail.com> send also a bug report to sun. perhaps it is in the bug list by now.
and yes the ie sends the full path. call it a bug or a feature. just replacing the backslash with a slash won't solve every case but most cases. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
